GARDE Lilies 
LILY, LONGIFLORUM “CREOLE” Our strain of this fine, pure white 
trumpet lily is a selection made by Mr. Whitehurst of the United States 
Department of Agriculture. While this lily is widely known as one of the 
most popular Easter lilies used by the florists trade, we have found that it 
does exceptionally well when planted in the garden. The pure white, very 
fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers will make a beautiful picture in your gar- 
den. The plants grow about three feet tall, bearing numerous deep green 
glossy leaves. The bulbs should be planted 8 inches deep in the full sun.

LILY CANDIDUM SEEDLINGS Our efforts towards developing a new 
Candidum that wou!d overcome the usual sterility in this strain has been 
rewarded with this fine seedling. This strain has unusually tall stems, large 
well reflexed flowers and great resistance to Botrytis. Because they are 
seedlings, there is some slight variation in length of stem, and time of 
blooming, but all in all they are a superior strain. A limited number of 
bulbs this year at $1.50 each. 
LILY, x GEORGE C. CREELMAN A magnificent hybrid lily, the result 
of a cross between L. regale and L. Sargentiae. This lily, which received an 
award of merit of the Royal Horticultural Society in 1934, is one of the 
sturdiest and strongest growing of the new race of large trumpet lilies. It 
differs from our Centifolium and Green Mountain Hybrids in that the flow- 
ers are more rounded and the petals more overlapping. George C. Creelman 
isa stately, formal lily. Our virus-free, clean stock will produce stems of six 
or more feet with as many as twenty flowers per stem. The2 color is a pure 
cream-white with canary yellow throat and rose purple flush on outside of 
petals.

LILY, GREEN MOUNTAIN HYBRIDS Raised from seed from the collection 
of Dr. L. Horsford Abel, the finest plants were selected when these plants 
bloomed and from the second generation of seedlings, we have selected 
the most impressive. Only a limited number of bulbs are available this 
year. An unusual overcast of green sets this apart from all others. 
$1.50 each 3 for $4.00 
LILY, TANGERINE This lily stands out from all the umbellatum 
hybrids we have raised, because of its pure tangerine coloring. It is 
without doubt the clearest and brightest color imaginable, and very 
vigorous and prolific. A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF BULBS WILL 
BE AVAILABLE THIS YEAR. A collector’s item. We will ship this 
independent of other bulbs.

ESPERANZA STRAIN 
The flower that stole the show at the mid-summer Horticultural Exhibition 
Since 1934 our growers have been developing the commercial production of disease-free 
AURATUM LILIES, and today, after selecting from some five hundred different types, the very 
fine ESPERANZA AURATUMS are now available. 
The beauty and fragrance of the golden rayed Auratums are known to all lily lovers, and the 
Pacific Northwest grown bulbs assure you of bulbs free of disease that will thrill you when 
you see their true beauty. Today you need not fear diseased bulbs such as were formerly 
imported. Our own American-grown stocks have completely overcome this trouble. 
The exhibit of Lilium Auratum stole the show at the 1944 mid-summer exhibition of the 
Horticultural Society of New York. The famous ESPERANZA HYBRIDS that we offer for the 
first time this year will be outstanding in your garden, too. 
Bulbs are not ready for delivery until November, so while we can ship to west coast and 
southern states for fall planting, our eastern customers should order now for delivery in the 
spring. PLACE YOUR ORDER EARLY. Stocks are not too plentiful this year.
